Sydney based artist & designer, Kris Andrew Small, creates abstract, energetic and flamboyant pieces using photo based collage, texture and typography. His work is the result of multiple influences, in particular his childhood growing up in the 90s in a tropical part of Australia. Having worked on a broad variety of projects across advertising, fashion, and branding, Kris has collaborated with clients including Adobe, Nike, Samsung and Sydney Opera House.

A Psychedelic constellation of work: lucid textural pieces, photo-based collages and kinetic type-based compositions that vibrate off the page with their own brand of hyperactivity. In Small’s world, the saturated colours of a tropical adolescence float in defiance of the grid, kaleidoscopic patterns embody an overactive mindset, and explosive typography continues a long-standing tradition of radical protest art from the fringes of club world. It all serves to connect an energetic aesthetic with coded — perhaps hallucinatory — notes on modern identity.

Tom Abbiss Smith is a contemporary designer represented by Grand Matter.

Tom currently lives and works in Norwich, United Kingdom with his partner and his cat; Lemon. Through both contemporary and traditional techniques such as digital collage, printmaking and painting, Tom explores shape and form to produce abstract designs and illustrations that are frequently applied as surface pattern design to clothing, homeware products, packaging, posters and accessories. His inspiration comes predominantly from nature, music and urban environments. However lots of everyday observations are fed into his work. He tends to work intuitively and sporadically.

I like patterns, and his works show many professional appliances for them, From clothes, to printed materials.

Andy Warhol

an American artist, director and producer who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity, culture and advertising that flourished by the 1960s, and span a variety of media, including painting,silscreening, photography, film, and sculpture.

He is a graphic icon, he influenciated the art & design world. He used representation of the time’s most important events. His “chronicle” of art pieces include such inspired by Marilyn Monroe’s death, the last executed electric chair death sentences, post-Hiroshima occurrences and Red China. Andy Warhol 'documented' the events that mattered most to people then through his own prism, which had a significant influence on many artists in the future. 

The use of color, screeprinting made a revolution of diferent coloc ombinations of the same repeated image, its really characteristic. He broke the mold of exhibitions and ewhat is to be an artist, he is a true inspiration

Annette Messager s a French visual artist. In 2005 she won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Biennale for her artwork at the French Pavilion. In 2016, she won the prestigious Praemium Imperiale International Arts Award.

Her works have this nostalgic/sinister looks, image treatment, compositions and materiality. It obscure, i like the installation of displayed photos, I think i can really relate my work to this. Black and white photography .

Marcelo Moscheta

The common thread running through Moscheta’s work is a great fascination for nature, together with his willingness to travel and experience the landscape. This experience of travelling and living in difficult environments stimulated his interest in depicting the memory of a place in his works, developing a classification procedure like that of an archaeologist questioning the boundaries of territory, geography and physics through art. S

he collects objects from nature and reproduces them through drawing and photography, creating installations and objects. 

I fell in love with this artist, the way he is able to display nature things , from differentpalces, in a fine and delicate way. Care of every detail, everything is so well thought. mixture between nature and humans. ORganic colors.

Ellsworth Kelly  was an American painter, sculptor, and printmaker associated with hard-edge painting, Color Field painting and minimalism. 

His works demonstrate unassuming techniques emphasizing line, color and form.He often employes bright colors. Great reference for use of color, contrasts, visual hierarchy, use of white space.

Cildo Meireles (born 1948) is a Brazilian conceptual artist, installation artist and sculptor. He is noted especially for his installations, many of which express resistance to political oppression in Brazil. These works, often large and dense, encourage a phenomenological experience via the viewer's interaction.

He’s been an artist and activist in political and social sphere, he uses his art to express a strong message, as a protest, to create critical thinking and to fight injustices. I like this, because art is a vehicle with which you can get to many ears and eyes.

Peter Saville is best known for his record sleeve designs for Factory Records artists – think Joy Division and New Order (Unknown Pleasures, Transmission, Blue Monday and more). But his sleeve work spans five decades. Saville is one of the most prolific record designers of all time, if not the most prolific. 

But the Manchester-born designer’s work doesn’t stop at sleeve design. In 2004 he became creative director of the City of Manchester; he has worked with fashion’s elite including Jil Sander and Stella McCartney; and in 2010 he designed the England football home kit. 

In 2013 he told The Guardian all about the latter: "The red and white thing has been entirely marginalised by one kind of person. It's synonymous with an attitude that is naive, xenophobic, bullying and self-marginalising. I thought, that's not reflective of the team, or football, or of the nation at all.

"But it turns out the market for those shirts are those bloody-minded xenophobic individuals with the shaved heads. When it came out, they did not like it. They did not like it at all."

Swiss-Brazilian, 1919–1988, Zurich, Switzerland, based in Sao Paulo, Brazil

Mira Schendel’s work is a visual manifestation of language, capturing voice, words, and gestures. Considered preeminent among late 20th-century Latin American artists, Schendel’s work is less didactic and more visceral than work by her contemporaries, who investigated semiotics and post-structuralist theory in the 1980s.

Love the simplicity of her works, a simple beauty, use of black and white and sometimes red. Minimal but with narrative and poetry, use of transparency in materiality. Delicate works.

Fabio Morais 

He is a brazilian visual artist.

Simple solutions and materiality, but with a lot of narrative. He is a great artist, liked the way he aproppiates the narratives, abstracting them into an object, how he was able to transform books and texts with complete transformations or just a simple extra detail.

Josip Kelava, is a new designer with a promo future. I like the Melbourne dance company project because of the use of type an image, how he composed both mixturing and superposing them, the thought of lines and shapes, and oy he did a conjuction between de two elements creating a unity.

Paula Scher is a big reference for graphic Design. Her style was to Illustrate with type, we can see and the play of thickness, orientations, colors, how she played with type with no fear. Its able to see emotion and feeling in her designs, more than just a Clear and clean message. 

She doesn1t use Helvetica because she believed that it neutralises feelings. She isn`t a modernist even though her typography was influenced by Russian constructivism.

Armin Hoffmann  is a swiss graphic designer he was instrumental in developing the graphic design style known as the Swiss Style. He believed in the trivialization of colour, reason for the economical use of colour and fonts.

His style is clear , the swiss style believed in the goal of communication above all else. He practiced new techniques of photo-typesetting, photo-montage and experimental composition and heavily favored sans-serif typography.

I like that his simplicity still is rich in shapes and composition, his decisions have a clear language but the don't lack on newness, on uniqueness, or on warmness. I like geometric shapes but with more audacious compositions, even though his works are minimalist, I like that there's always something that breaks the line.
